            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("FriendliAI/MiMo-Embodied-7B")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("FriendliAI/MiMo-Embodied-7B")

            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)

I. Introduction

MiMo-Embodied, a powerful cross-embodied vision-language model that shows state-of-the-art performance in both autonomous driving and embodied AI tasks, the first open-source VLM that integrates these two critical areas, significantly enhancing understanding and reasoning in dynamic physical environments.

II. Model Capabilities

III. Model Details

IV. Evaluation Results

MiMo-Embodied demonstrates superior performance across 17 benchmarks in three key embodied AI capabilities: Task Planning, Affordance Prediction, and Spatial Understanding, significantly surpassing existing open-source embodied VLM models and rivaling closed-source models.

Additionally, MiMo-Embodied excels in 12 autonomous driving benchmarks across three key capabilities: Environmental Perception, Status Prediction, and Driving Planning—significantly outperforming both existing open-source and closed-source VLM models, as well as proprietary VLM models.

Moreover, evaluation on 8 general visual understanding benchmarks confirms that MiMo-Embodied retains and even strengthens its general capabilities, showing that domain-specialized training enhances rather than diminishes overall model proficiency.
